------------------------------------
-Cause: faulty Solenoid valve.
-Part #11 36 8 610 388  
-Retail price $200.
-labor involved 1.5 hrs plus clearing faults with scan-tool.
-Tools needed 1/4 ratchet, with 2-in extension, magnetic 10mm 1/4 socket if available, 7mm short 1/4 socket, long needle nose "like" pliers to pull part out and flat-head screwdriver.
---------------------------------------
Other things that can cause rough idle on these engines are listed below (assuming the basics have already been done and checked like ignition coils/ plugs , oil level etc.) but usually set fault codes that will help you diagnose.;

-Timing chain guides broken : caused erratic idle, metallic noise when reving engine, extended cranking when starting and sometimes a complete no start situation.  Sets timing fault codes as primary faults.
-High fuel pressure pump faulty: Causes extended cranking, rough idle and engine misfires. Sets engine misfires as primary faults.  Check fuel pressure data at time of fault If it is below 4 bar then needs High fuel pressure pump.  Some cars have extended warranty for this issue.
-Carbon build-up on intake valves in cylinder head:  Causes rough idle and rough acceleration at times.  Has Super Knocking and Misfire Fault codes stored as primary.
-Faulty diaphragm in valve cover ( pcv valve).  Causes suddle rough and sometimes high idle and a sucking air noise at valve cover. Lean mixture fault codes stored as primary.
-Stuck open tank vent valve: Causes long cranking at start-up.  Especially after refueling. and rough idle that will clear up as engine warms up.  May have fault code stored for lean/rich mixture and jammed tank vent valve.
-Faulty Throttle body: Causes Rough idle intermittently  and mass air meter plausibility faults as primary with no other faults stored usually.
